Job listens as God speaks and tells him that he has previously spoken about things that he has not enough knowledge of and kind of reprimands him for some of the things that he said. Job ends this one by repenting for the things he said.
The Lord will bless those who are righteous and will take care of evildoers. I would imagine that you would have to have enough people that are righteous in the Lord for this to happen.

God does seem to be reprimanding Job. The devotional sums it up well. We all question God at times. And these questions can make us challenge our faith. God challenged Job with questions to reveal his limitations and show the power of God. He eventually tells God he is not worthy and will say no more. It says that God loved Job enough to be with him in his suffering and that makes all the difference. Job didn't need to keep asking questions because he realized that God was the only answer. It sums it up well saying, Sometimes, when we reach the end of ourselves, when we reach the end of the tears and the rage and the questions, when we are quiet, we hear him say, "I am God. I am here.".
This psalm is saying to me that those who trust in the Lord cannot be shaken and that God surrounds his people. It sounds also like the psalmist is asking the lord to bless those that are good and get rid of those that do evil.
